The cassock, or soutane, is an item of
Christian clerical clothing used by the clergy of Roman Catholic, Eastern
Orthodox, Anglican and Reformed churches, among others. "Ankle-length
garment" is the literal meaning of the corresponding Latin term, vestis talaris.
It is related to habit traditionally worn by nuns, monks, and friars. The
cassock derives historically from the tunic that in ancient Rome was worn
underneath the toga and the chiton that was worn beneath the himation in
ancient Greece. In religious services, it has traditionally been worn
underneath vestments, such as the alb.
In the West, the cassock is little used today
except for religious services; but in many countries it was the normal everyday
wear of the clergy until the second half of the 20th century, when it was
replaced even in those countries by a conventional suit, distinguished from lay
dress by being generally black and by incorporating a clerical collar.
